<p>'[A] tense and solid police procedural set in an unusual locale' <b><i>Booklist</i> on <i>The Hostage</i></b><br /><br />'Smart, urgent, and sneakily deep' <b>C.J. Box on <i>The Hostage</i></b><br /><br />'Striking … A rich and reeking swamp full of exploitation, despair, violence, and summary justice.' <b><i>Kirkus</i></b><br /><br />'Efficiently attending to each of the numerous conflicts and characters, Carter drives the narrative toward a ripping climax and adds vivid new shades to Baxter and its neighboring communities. Admirers of Ace Atkins’s down-and-dirty Quinn Colson books will find much to like.' <b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b></p>
